Kyle Lacy
Press Kit
Kyle Lacy is originally from Atlanta, Georgia and was born in 1990; however, his time machine made a quick refueling stop in 1956 and he was quickly infected with the DNA that gave birth to Rock’n’Roll. Inspired by The Stray Cats, Little Richard, Sam Cooke, Elvis Presley, and Ray Charles as well as his love of musical theatre and live performance, his vision - a 21st century hybrid of Rockabilly, Throwback Soul, and electric Blues - has earned him acclaim.
After moving to New York City, his first band, Harlem River Noise, released a debut album in 2017 followed by two years of touring, which earned them a spot at the biggest Rockabilly festival in the United States- Viva Las Vegas 2019. Kyle then formed The Kyle Lacy Band in New York City with drummer JC Myska, saxophonist Cole Stone-Frisina, bassist Trevor Brown, and vocalists Mel Johnston and Kim Foxen.
The band teamed up with indie label Dala Records (Brooklyn, NY) to release Kyle’s debut solo album “The Road to Tomorrow” in February of 2020. The album was voted #2 Best February Release by Americana Highways listeners, and lead single “Low and Slow” was played on the world-renowned Craig Charles Funk and Soul show on BBC Radio.
In Fall of 2021, Kyle and his band performed residencies at The Groove every Saturday, The Bar Room every Tuesday, and the Red Lion every Sunday. They will be back on their regular schedule of performances come January 2022 and look forward to recording their new album at that time.
"Lacy’s music is infused with the raw soul of the records he grew up listening to with his parents: Wynonie Harris, Big Joe Turner, Jerry Lee Lewis."

"Gut-wrenching words that resonate with people the world over and reminiscent of classic soul music..."
IMRAN MIRZA
BLUE in Green Radio
"With Lacy's sprightly vocals -- JD McPherson should look over his shoulder -- and the band packing the album into a two-day recording session, the album packs a needed punch."
